I'm very disappointed in Letizia's style -- and, particularly, her outfit today for such a grand national holiday!? Why is she always in pants and shirts? Not even a pants suit that looks like it's been "put together" ...

She really has had very few good fashion days since Frederik & Mary's wedding in 2004.

So is this supposed to be a poncho or was she wrapped in a blaket? I can't say...

I agree, I don't like this shawl type thing. I don't like any of the new styles of these loose outer garments. They are being shown all over the runways and I am not impressed. Dislike the Ruanas [most of all], Ponchos, Wraps, and Capes [unless opera length with hood for evening wear]. None of them do anything for a woman's figure, especially one that is over weight as they make her look twice as large instead of hiding. Some just remind me of a woman trying to look like a teenager. The rest of Letizia's outfit rather nice.

Letizia looked way out of place but that has been for so many events that she has not been dressing appropriate or dressing for the event.
Letizia's look today was pretty IMO, the shirt matched with the pants is lovely & would look beautiful with a matching jacket or coat.

I wonder why she choose pants, its not an event to wear pants to but a dress or skirt like previous events.

I like the outfit itself, less with the cover up part.Not sure of its appropriateness for the occasion, but guess it was not, since the National Day is an important celebration in Spain.

Is it April Fools Day or National Day? Letizia looks like a joke, far too casual for this event. As usual the other SRF women chose to wear some classy and appropriate outfits.

Letizia doesnt look happy at all but I have no doubt that HOLA! & Co will even find the horseblanket that she is wrapping around herself trendy and stylish. Too bad that the one Princess who wanted to be known for other things that "fashion" has now become a "media trendsetter" for her looks, even when wearing cheap and ugly clothes, because praising Letizia the style icon means easy money for the magazines.

HuffingtonPost is ahead of Hola telling that the shawl is trendy. The outfit per se is all right. I like a soft peach blouse. However, it is inappropriate for the occasion and the shawl tends to overwhelm the ensemble.

Bad choice of Letizia for this important event. Needs to learn about how a princess should dress and not use her own taste, sometimes too ridiculous.
A nice and simple 2 pc jacket and skirt would be just stunning. Pants are not the best for this kind of event, just look how casual she looks among the other ladies of the family.
Not talking about the poncho, imo only Maxima can take it very graceful and elegant way.
